How to enter your license key
When you purchase your license of PhraseExpander (or renew your upgrade protection), you'll receive a new license key that you need to install.
How to install a new license key

- 2
-

-
Click OK to confirm. PhraseExpander needs to restart to detect the new license, so click on File → Exit to quit PhraseExpander and then restart it.
You can check if the new license was properly installed by clicking on Help → About
If your license key has been installed via a static license key, the license key cannot be changed directly from the user interface, and you need to update the static license key file (Admin rights are required for that).
If your key is rejected
Your license key works with every PhraseExpander version released while your upgrade protection was active. If you bought your license a long time ago and install the latest version, PhraseExpander does not accept the key.
You can keep using the version that was current when your upgrade protection expired, or renew or reactivate your license to use the latest one. See Accessing older versions of PhraseExpander and Reactivating an expired license.
